Ofcom’s interactive map gives a picture of speeds and availability across UK.

As part of Ofcom’s duty to report to Jeremy Hunt on the UK’s communications infrastructure, the regulator has today published an interactive UK broadband map, based on data provided by communications providers.

The map uses four availability and speed indicators to colour-code each of 200 administrative authority areas according to their broadband provision, from green to red. Ofcom’s first full infrastructure report will be submitted to the Secretary of State later this year, which will build on this map and provide additional information.
